ALFRED A. BOISMAURE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO THE BOIS- MAURE OSCILLATING JEWELRY COMPANY, OF NEW JERSEY.

JEWEL-MOUNTING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 763,846, dated June 28, 1904.

Application filed June 6, 1903- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED A. BoIsMAUEn, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Jewel-Mountings, of

which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of this invention is to provide a jewel-mounting by means of which a jewel, precious stone, or other ornament may be vibratorily supported in a surrounding or inclosing member, which is stationary and which is annular in general form, whereby increased brilliancy, luster, and attractiveness is given to the jewel or other ornament.

The invention described and claimed in this application is an improvement on that described and claimed in United States Letters Patent granted to me March 20, 1900, Serial No. 645,909, and is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which I Figure 1 is a vertical section of a jewel- Inounting made according to my invention; Fig. 2, a transverse section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 afront view thereof.

In the drawings formingpart of this specification I have shown at 5 an ordinary stickpin, such as is ordinarily used in connection with scarfs and other neckwear, but which may be used for various other purposes, and said pin is provided at its larger end with a hook member 6, to which is secured the inclosing or stationary member 7 of my improved jewel-mounting, which is annular in general form and which in the form of construction shown is of the form of a star.

Secured to pin 5 adjacent to the hook member 6 and longitudinally thereof is a support 8, which in the form of construction shown is provided with a transverse member 9, the ends of which are secured to the stationary and inclosing member 7 and the support 8 is provided with short forwardly-di- Serial No. 160,311. (No model.)

rected arms 10 at its opposite ends, each of which is provided with a hollow cylinder 11.

Within the stationary and inclosing member 7 is placed the vibratory member 12, which is also of the form of astar in the form of construction shown and which is provided with two backwardly-directed cylindrical and hollow members 13, which are open at the back and into which the hollow cylindrical members 11 are passed, and passed transversely through the parts 13 and 11 and in the same plane as the pin 5 are short pins 1 1, which are secured to the members 13 and which pass freely through the members 11, and each of these pins 14 is provided with a spiral spring 15, which is wound thereon, and one end of each of the springs 15 is secured to the corresponding pin 14 and the other to the member 11. The vibratory member 12 serves as a support or setting proper for a stone or other jewel 16, and as will be apparent the part 12 is vibratoril y and resiliently supported on the parts 11 and is connected therewith by the pins 1 1 and springs 15, and by reason of this construction the member 12 is constantly vibrating, or, in other words, is never stationary, and this is true no matter how still the pin 5 may be held, and owing to this constant vibration of the central part 12 a very brilliant and attractive mounting or setting is produced.

In the form of construction shown the ends of the cylindrical members 13 are integral with the vibratory member 12; but the said ends maybe formed separately, if desired, in order to permit of the insertion of the parts 11 thereinto, or this connection may be made in any preferred way.

Although I have shown and described only one jewel or ornament 16, it will be apparent that a number or cluster of such devices may be supported by the vibratory member 12, if desired.

It is evident that the mounting above described may be applied to a great number of forms and styles of jewelry, precious stones, and other ornaments, and various changes in and modifications of the construction herein described may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages. It will also be apparent that the pin 5 is not an essential to this invention, and the mounting herein described may be used as a brooch and in various other forms.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. A device of the class described, comprising a main outer inclosing and stationary member having a large central opening, a transverse support at the back of said opening extending thereinto, and a central vibratory member connected With said support and located in said opening, said vibratory member being provided with resilient connections whereby it is maintained in a constant state of vibration, substantially as shown and described.

2. A device of the class described, comprising an outer, inclosing and stationary-member, a back support connected therewith, forwardly-directed hollow cylindrical members connected with the back support, a central vibratory member within the inclosing and stationary member and provided with backwardly-directed hollow members adapted to receive the hollow cylindrical members, pins passed through the backwardly-directed members of the vibratory member and through the hollow cylindrical members of the back support, and springs connected with said pin and with said hollow cylindrical members, substantially as shown and described.

3. A device of the class described, comprising a stick-pin the larger end of which is curved, a stationary inclosing member secured to the curved portion of said pin, a back support connected with said pin and with said stationary inclosing member and provided with forwardly-directed hollow cylindrical members, a vibratory member mounted in the stationary inclosing member and provided with hollow backwardlydirected members which receive the said hollow cylindrical members, pins passed through the backwardlydirected members of the vibratory member and through the hollow cylindrical members and secured in the first-named members, and springs secured to said pins and to the hollow cylindrical members of the back support, substantially as shown and described.

4. A device of the class described, comprising a stick-pin the larger end of which is curved, a stationary inclosing member secured to the curved portion of said pin, a back support connected with said pin and with said stationary inclosing member and provided with forwardly-directed hollow cylindrical members, a vibratory member mounted in the stationary inclosing member and provided with hollow backwardlydirected members which receive the said hollow cylindrical members, pins passed through the backwardlydirected members of the vibratory member and through the hollow cylindrical members and secured in the first-named members, and springs secured to said pins and to the hollow cylindrical members of the back support, said vibratory member being also provided with a precious stone which is secured therein, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 4th day of May, 1903.

ALFRED A. BOISMAURE.
